Miami Marlins Manager LOVES Dictators Castro and Chavez (Video)

GUILLEN LOVES HOW CASTRO TORTURES THE CUBAN PEOPLE?

What is what Miami Marlins manager, Oswaldo José “Ozzie” Guillén, loves and respect so much of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro? Does Guillén love how the Castro regime has tortured, terrorized, jailed, and killed the Cuban people to stay in power for more than 50 years? Now that he is the new manager of the Miami baseball team, Guillén decided to insult all those victims of the Marxist dictatorships in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, etc. who now live in Miami.

Time Magazine reported:

“I love Fidel Castro,” Blurts Ozzie Guillen, the new manager of the Miami Marlins, in his Jupiter, Fla., spring-training office before an early-March team workout.

CBS Tampa reported: Guillen told Time magazine that he loves Castro and respects him for staying in power so long…“The reason I say I admire him is because a lot of people want to get rid of this guy and they couldn’t yet,” Guillen told the Sun-Sentinel. [...] Guillen said he has never spoken to Chavez, but in fact he appeared on the Venezuelan leader’s national radio show twice in October 2005, when Guillen led the Chicago White Sox to the World Series title. At the time, Guillen said: “Not too many people like the president. I do. My mom will kill me, but it’s an honor to talk to the president.”

Alberto de la Cruz at Babalu Blog commented: After Ozzie Guillen was quoted by a Time magazine reporter saying that he “respects” and “loves” Fidel Castro, Guillen and the Miami Marlins are now walking back the comments and attempting to put them in a context that would not seem so inflammatory to Miami’s residents. However, as the city that hosts the largest concentration of Fidel Castro’s victims, Guillen’s remarks, no matter how they try to qualify them, were certainly inflammatory and insensitive. [...] Hopefully, Mr. Guillen has finally learned the lesson that while …things are lawful, not all things are helpful or edifying.

Ozzie Guillen in 2005: Viva Chavez! This video shows Guillen praising Marxist dictator Hugo Chavez. Guillen probably admires how Chavez has destroyed Venezuela, the once-prosperous South American country.

Liberals Use Trayvon Shooting to Blame Republicans and to Attack Gun Rights

LIBERALS CAN’T WAIT FOR THE FACTS Progressives (= leftists), the liberal media, and race-hustlers can’t let a tragedy go to waste. They always find ways to advance their agenda of hate. Even though we still don’t know the facts, they are blaming conservatives and Republicans for the death of Trayvon Martin, the reportedly unarmed teenager who was shot and killed last month by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida. Liberals also see this as an opportunity to attack their other nemesis…gun rights.  They are targeting Florida’s “Stand Your Ground Law,” which allows people to use deadly force while defending themselves.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s 2012 State of the State Address

1 YEAR IN OFFICE Governor Rick Scott delivered today his State of the State Address after one year in office.

Excerpts from his speech: 1. “In the past year, Floridians, not government, created almost 135,000 new private sector jobs. We netted more than 120,000 total jobs in the first 11 months of 2011; the third most of any state in the nation.” 2. “Also deserving credit are you, the legislators in this room. Last year you passed and I signed a budget we balanced without raising taxes or fees despite a revenue shortfall of nearly 4 billion dollars. We did this by making government lean and effective.” 3. “After traveling the state and listening to parents, teachers … and our students, I heard one thing very clearly, over and over. Floridians truly believe that support for education is the most significant thing we can do to ensure both short-term job growth and long-term economic prosperity for our state… “That’s why this session I ask you to continue your commitment to education… “My recommended budget includes $1 billion in new state funding for education… “And I ask you to please consider that recommendation very carefully. “On this point, I just cannot budge.” 4. “Last session, together we made the changes necessary to improve the opportunities for the citizens of our state. Education, pension and Medicaid reforms coupled with government reorganization and deregulation have all helped to produce jobs, save taxpayer money, improve the education of our children and bring down the cost of living for all Floridians.” 5. “No person, profession or party has a monopoly on all the good ideas. The commitment I make to those here today is to keep open, clear lines of communication so that together our time in the Capitol can best be spent in the service of those who sent us here. That is my pledge to you.” 6. “From our shores, we have launched men to the moon. And with this same brave spirit millions have come to plant their flag in Florida soil to build something new and better. I know I did. I know many of you here today have felt this joy, too.” 7. “My fellow Floridians, I’m here today to tell you that promise and opportunity will return; in fact ARE returning even as we meet here today.” 8. “What government gives to one person necessarily had to be taken from the pocket of someone else. There is something arrogant and overreaching in thinking we have the superior wisdom to micromanage the economy.” 9. “Taxes and regulations. they are the great destroyers of capital and time for small businesses. Almost every dollar I earned as a shop owner went toward growing our little doughnut shops. So, every dollar taken in taxes slowed that growth. Almost every minute I had in the day also went toward growing our small business. So, every minute spent addressing some new regulation also slowed that growth.” 10. “If we are going to be serious about keeping the cost of living low for Floridians, we must get tough on the fraud and abuse in the auto insurance system.” 11. “I’d like to focus on what I believe are the three most important jobs I have as your Governor: One, ensuring that Floridians are able to gain employment, two, securing the right of every Floridian to a quality education, and three, keeping the cost of living low, so that the families and businesses that are in our state can prosper and grow, and the ones that aren’t have even more reasons to get here soon.”

WHO IS RAUL MARTINEZ? FLASHBACK 1999: Raul Martinez, Hialeah Mayor, assaults Cuban protester

In 1999, Democrat Raul Martinez, then Mayor of Hialeah, punched a young guy. Here is the video and report: On 6/30/1999, then Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez pummeled a young man (Ernesto Mirabal, 21) who supposedly was blocking traffic on the Palmetto Expressway. “More than 400 people gathered on the Palmetto on Tuesday night to protest the Coast Guard’s treatment of six Cuban rafters, blocking the northbound lanes at Northwest 103rd Street for about four hours. The protest turned into a battle after 2 a.m. Seven people were arrested…” “Both the mayor, weighing in at 6-3, 255 pounds, and the protester, 150-pound, 5-10 Ernesto Mirabal, say the other guy swung first. Martinez emerged the champion of the roadside bout. He landed a left and at least five right uppercuts as police officers jumped Mirabal, leaving the protester bleary-eyed and spitting blood. The fight video played all day on news stations…”

FL Gov Rick Scott Proven Right: High-Speed Rail is a Budget Buster

HIGH-SPEED RAIL IS A BOONDOGGLE Over Budget, Behind Schedule, and Unnecessary Many warned about the high-speed-rail cost overruns. They were right. New estimates indicate the California high-speed rail has tripled in cost and won’t be ready for 22 years. This vindicates Governor Rick Scott’s decision to reject the high speed rail funds. Sunshine State News reported yesterday:
	Gov. Rick Scott took a moment Tuesday to enjoy his decision earlier this year to reject federal money to create a bullet train between Orlando and Tampa. “I hope everybody saw … the headlines,” Scott told a media gathering in his office. “Cost projection for California bullet train jumps to nearly $100 billion dollars.” [...] “They’re now on the hook for I guess another $50 billion, the state is,” Scott said. In February, Scott, over the objection of many state legislators, turned down $2.4 billion from the federal government for the Florida line. At the time, Scott cited anticipated increases in costs that would have to be covered by Florida and …questioned the ridership projections for the line.

Obama’s Labor Secretary Hilda Solis Calls Activists “Teabaggers”…A Sexual Pejorative

DEMOCRATS USE VULGARITY AND VENOM TO INSULT TEA PARTIERS Sunshine State News reported: “At the Florida Democratic Party State Convention over the weekend, U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis insulted members of the Tea Party, referring to the activists as “teabaggers.” Teabagger is a pejorative term used to refer to a certain sexual act.” Hilda Solis used the sexually explicit slur to insult supporters of the Tea Party movement: “I’ll be darned if I’m going to set that aside now because a few tea baggers want to somehow muzzle my voice.” This is Obama’s new era of “civility.”
Hilda Solis with Nicaragua's Marxist Dictator Daniel Ortega
Here is how the Tallahassee Democrat reported Solis’ and other Democrats uncivilized comments:
	Democrats call for ‘citizen revolt’ against GOP Oct 30, 2011 By Bill Cotterell Florida Capital Bureau LAKE BUENA VISTA — State and national Democratic Party leaders told Florida Democrats Saturday they can re-elect President Obama and U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson by rallying voters in a “citizen revolt” against Republican Party policies being dictated by “a brutally fanatic right-wing group of extremists” in Washington and Tallahassee. [...] U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, the featured speaker at a party luncheon, said Democrats should play defense in discussing Obama’s record on jobs and education. She said tea party activists have sought to dominate the debate, but that Obama supporters have nothing to feel shy about. The former Los Angeles congresswoman told of her family’s experience, coming from Nicaragua, and how federal programs helped her and millions of poor or middle-class Americans with jobs, health care, housing and equal protection of the law. “I’ll be darned if I’m going to set that aside now because a few tea baggers want to somehow muzzle my voice,” Solis said. “We don’t have to sit back and allow a minority in the Congress, known as the tea party, to dominate the discussion in our households.” [...] Wasserman Schultz said Republicans won control of the House and made gains at the state level because “frankly, we dropped the ball in 2010.” But she said winning meant the Republicans had to turn their party over to the Tea Party and other very conservative elements. “The unfortunate thing is that the problem, in fact, stems from a brutally fanatic right wing group of extremists, who put politics and ideology above principles and people,” said Wasserman Schultz. “These fanatics are destroying our state and our country and the contrast between their agenda and ours has never been more stark.”

Hollywood (Florida) Looking for Rats…to Spy on their Neighbors

The Bigger the Government, the Smaller the Citizen

NEIGHBORS POLICING NEIGHBORS Instead of reducing (or completely eliminating) the lavish lifetime pensions and benefits given to government employees, politicians are using the economic recession and the budget constraints as an opportunity to extend the government tentacles at the expense of our individual freedom. Liberals and useful idiots are gradually, but surely, encroaching on the rights of the individual. In Florida, the city of Hollywood wants residents to rat out neighbors. This program is eerily similar to the Castro’s neighborhood snitch groups on every block in Cuba known as Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDRs). They keep watch on everybody and everything.
Castro’s neighborhood snitch groups: The CDRs
The Sun Sentinet reported:
	HOLLYWOOD, FL. — This city has a solution for its shortage of code enforcers: They’re having residents rat out their neighbors. It’s like a traditional neighborhood watch, but instead of crime, volunteers will be on the lookout for grime. And they’ll put neighbors on notice for basic problems ranging from overgrown grass and unkempt shrubs to parking on the lawn and putting trash out too early. The trained volunteers are not authorized to issue violation notices. Instead, the notices will serve as warnings. If the issue is not resolved within seven days, then a code enforcement officer will follow up and issue “a violation on the spot,” said Maj. Joseph Healy, who brought the idea forward after reading about it in a magazine. “We’re not trying to pick on our resident neighbors,” said Terry Cantrell, president of the civic association in Hollywood Lakes, where the initiative is being tested. “What this program is going to do is hopefully gain compliance in a gentle way without fines.” Already, 25 people have been trained for the pilot program, the first of its kind in Broward. If all goes well, it will eventually expand citywide. Still, it already has critics. “It rubs me the wrong way,” said Doug Barnard, a six-year resident of the South Lakes neighborhood. “All it takes is for one nosy neighbor and life can be hell for everyone.” [...] In an effort to protect their identities, volunteers will be assigned a number that will be known to code enforcement and noted on each notice. “People were afraid of retribution,” Healy said. “So we try to keep it anonymous somewhat.” Similar programs are underway in Port St. Lucie, Austin, Texas, Garden Grove, Calif., and Monterey Park, Calif., Healy said. Vice Mayor Patty Asseff, who lives in the Lakes neighborhood, thinks the program makes perfect sense, especially when budget constraints and unfilled vacancies have dwindled the city’s code enforcement ranks from 19 to 12.

OWS MIAMI: Banker Effigy Hanged for Occupy Wall Street-themed Mural

LEFTISTS LOVE DARKNESS
Via UK Daily Mail:
	Drivers in Miami today were likely doing double takes on Wednesday as they passed what looked like a banker hanging by a noose from a telephone wire alongside a Florida highway. To accompany his Occupy Wall Street-themed mural, the international graffiti artist known by his street name Above, took his message a step further by adding the rather life-like hanging dummy to his display… ‘I tried to clothe him and dress him up as if he was what I imiagined (sic) a Wall Street banker might wear,’ Above said to MailOnline…I think it’s my retaliation to how far Wall St, has gotten in general. ‘It is shocking to me when I look at these numbers when I see that one per cent of the people have all of the money,’ he continued. The mannequin was hung next to a mural that he painted along the northbound side of the I-95 highway which stretches from Miami up the east coast. Making it’s connection to the Occupy Wall Street protests, the mural reads ‘Give a Wall St banker enough rope and he will hang himself’.
